2004 VW MkIV R32 Buying Guide/Tips

[Big_M]

Clutch replaced at 72,000kms sounds like trackwork related wear and tear to me. Not necessarily a deal-breaker on its own, but something to consider (I'd be looking for other signs of premature aging at that point) when determining what price you'd offer.

Got reply from owner.

Says it's stick standard.
Never been to track or drags.
No modifications etc. No body damage.

Might fire back few more questions see what happens.

Shame not closer.

Can't say I have, no.

I'd be very surprised if it wasn't known to some forum regulars though, given that Dragan was well relatively known on here.

On another note guys, Anyone know of anymore Silver R32's in QLD ?
I seem to remember one forsale a year or so ago I think out Toowoomba way!. Wonder if it sold! Didn't have the cash then but typical now I do locating is a problem..

Just to provide some clarity about R32 Ecu's they are all PHYSICALLY idenitical, its the software that is local market specific.
I spoke to Jeff Atwood the C2 motorsports software engineer and this is the info I received about the Hpa turbo R32 and VF S/C R32's that are not running correctly due to a poor tune or stand alone or piggy back Ecu's. The reason I questioned Jeff is he has done custom software for turbo and S/ced Mk4 and Mk5 R32 all around the world Uk, Europe,Japan,Korea,Mexico,Canada and the Us. Also Jeff did the software from my turboed R32 and it is tuned for the petrol that we have here in Australia.
Jeff have built a VF SC specific file, since so many folks were asking him to sort their tuning issues. The file can also be custom to your hardware setup.
Also he has many different R32 mk4 mk5 R32 files

So feel free to email Jeff(tuner@c2motorsports.net) so we can find that Hpa R32 and the couple VF S/ced R32s a good home and get them running like they should. D'ont know if this info helps the PPL shopping for the R32. Cheers J

JLT....so ur ECU not a piggy back?

[Mr. JLT]

Nope its just a flash file that was custom for the hardware set up that I put on my R32

Just a heads up for a nice BMP R32 for sale here in Syd going for $32k.

I met the owner a few times and his .:R is in immaculate condition and used as weekend car. Apparently his either a good friend or relative to an old mk4 .:R32 owner and enthusiast "Dragan".
